Entity Model Designer Error

I am trying to create a new Devart Entity Model in VS2010.

After I select the Devart Entity Model item and click Add in the Add New Item window all I see is the XML of the edml file ...

Funny thing was this was working yesterday and I really haven't modified anything.

A colleague had the same issue recently and had to re-install dotConnect for Oracle to fix the problem. I may have to do that but am concerned this may be an ongoing issue.

I ran VS2010 in log mode and now have the following entries in the ActivityLog file ...

I tried deleting the cache but still have the same problem.

Thank you for the report, we are investigating the problem.
Try to run Visual Studio with the "setup" command line argument, like this:

Code: Select all

devenv.exe /setup

If this doesn't help, try to reinstall dotConnect for Oracle.

I have reinstalled dotConnect for Oracle and, yes, the problem has magically gone away.

Leaves me wondering what happened and when it will happen again?

Stay tuned!
